Coworking is any long-term arrangement in which independent professionals can work in the same space, whether full- or part-time. You may have seen mention on CNN.com, in the New York Times, or local media.
We're trying to gauge interest in developing a permanent dedicated
coworking space in downtown Ann Arbor. This might include shared office
space, meeting and training space, a private cafe, a "makers' den" for
electronic and other fabrication projects. Any or all of those. The
space might be run by a private concern, a nonprofit organization, or
an ad hoc collaboration. It might be a membership organization, a
business of its own, or a cooperative. Or something else.
Let's explore what it might be, and why you might want to participate.
Where: Ann Arbor District Library Freespace, 3rd floor, Downtown Ann Arbor library building
When: Monday, May 19, 7-8:30pm
The meeting space is reserved from 5pm through 8:30pm, but we will
officially begin proceedings at 7pm. If enough interest is generated,
we may run two 90-minute rounds of discussion.
Who: Organized by Not An Employee, LLC
Space in the Library conference room is limited to 32 people. If more
want to attend and discuss the prospects for coworking, we will try to
arrange a second session, and extend discussion after the meeting at one of the other local meeting venues.
You may use the free service at Upcoming.org to RSVP.
